On the one hand, I feel like I've been nursing, changing, bathing, watching, and caring for these little men FOREVER. I've been at home with them every day (except when I had that major abdominal surgery...) since they were born. There are hours that feel like they'll never end, let alone days when I can't wait for my hubby to walk through the door to give me some relief.
On the other hand, it's only been four months and they've grown and learned and developed SO much in that time. I remember being in the hospital, thinking we were in no way qualified to bring these boys home and care for them. They were so small and fragile, and I was so afraid that they might even just slip through my fingers. Now they laugh, smile, play, and hold "conversations" with us on a regular basis, and each of them has so much personality.
While staying home with them full-time, I get to see how much they can do, and it is obvious to me with whom I am playing. Sometimes I get frustrated with friends and family who can't even tell them apart, until I realize they've only seen the boys a few times. What really gets me is when people are holding the boys and they expect them to just fall asleep or snuggle in their arms, because that's all they think babies are capable of. I just want to tell them that my boys can do so much more, try interacting with them a little!
They really are so much fun, and while not every day is easy (like today: we got shots this morning), every day has something good in it.
I'm sure the next few days will pass quickly, leaving me wondering what happened to the last week already, but I hope we're able to slow down and enjoy the moments as they pass. Until next time...
Today's verse: "Do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble." Matthew 6:34
